Ducks!

[Bathsheba]

It seems that a pair of wild ducks have adopted us!!!! They are in our back yard right now. They like our peppercorn tree... it has a big hole and a hollow trunk they pop in and out of. Lucky we don't have a dog/cat to threaten them.

Does anyone know if it's safe to give them small bits of wholegrain bread?

How cool if one day we see a string of ducklings emerge from the hole in the tree! HERE is a photo of the tree... will take a photo of the ducks when I can...

Aw how cute! I hope your get ducklings,(if you don't mind them in your back yard of course!) it'd be good for the kids to see! Plus, they're just gorgeous how they all waddle around in there little family as they do

No bread chick... now gimme photos!

Yeah, they loved the bread but it might not be good for them. Is there anything better? My 3yo has chased them off now... but this is about the fourth day they have visited... I think they like it here

You should be able to get duck pellets at your local produce store. They might like veges like lettuce leaves or little bits of tomato.

You might love them a little less when they poo on stuff
